The upcoming version 5.7 of Genshin Impact will introduce a highly anticipated ice-element character, Silkok, a 5-star sword-wielding heroine. With her unique skill mechanics and high-damage combat style, Silkok promises to bring a fresh fighting experience to players. This article provides an in-depth analysis of her skills, exclusive weapon, and constellation effects to help players better understand and utilize her strategic value.
Silkok Character Profile
Rarity: 5-Star
Element: Ice
Weapon Type: Sword
Base Attribute Bonus: +38.4% Critical Damage
Silkok is clearly positioned as a main DPS character specializing in ice-element attacks. Her unique “Serpent’s Cunning” mechanism allows her to use skills independently of elemental energy, focusing instead on tactical combat rhythms.
Exclusive Weapon: Azure Radiance
As Silkok’s exclusive weapon, Azure Radiance plays a crucial role in enhancing her combat capabilities. Key features include:
Base Attack: 608 / +33.1% Critical Rate
White Mountain’s Blessing: After using an Elemental Skill, attack increases by 24%. If Elemental Energy is at 0, attack and critical damage further increase by 24% and 40%, respectively.
This weapon effect perfectly complements Silkok’s skill mechanics, fully unlocking her offensive potential.
Normal Attack: Evil Technique – Sever
Silkok’s normal attacks consist of three parts:
Normal Attack: Up to five consecutive strikes, serving as the foundation for her damage output.
Charged Attack: Consumes stamina to hurl a spinning ice spear, dealing damage to enemies in front.
Plunge Attack: Strikes the ground from mid-air, damaging enemies in the path and upon impact.
Though seemingly simple, these normal attacks play a vital role in Silkok’s skill set, especially when enhanced in the Seven Strikes mode.
Elemental Skill: Evil Technique – Flash
Silkok’s Elemental Skill has two activation modes:
Tap: Grants 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning, switching to Seven Strikes mode.
Hold: Grants 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning, entering a fast movement state with increased resistance to interruptions.
This skill is key to initiating Silkok’s special combat mode and enhancing her mobility and survivability.
Elemental Burst: Evil Technique – Annihilate
Silkok’s Elemental Burst does not rely on elemental energy but on Serpent’s Cunning. When Serpent’s Cunning reaches 50 points, the burst can be unleashed, delivering rapid slashes with ice-element area damage. Notably:
Exceeding 50 points of Serpent’s Cunning increases damage by up to 12%.
In Seven Strikes mode, the burst transforms into “Evil Technique – Exhaust,” which does not consume Serpent’s Cunning and provides a carving effect.
This design allows Silkok’s burst to deliver high damage while maximizing output through well-timed skill rotations.
Fixed Skills
Beyond Reason
When nearby party members trigger ice-element reactions, rifts in the virtual realm are created near enemies. Silkok can utilize these rifts through specific actions.
